answer text <p>Farm standards following the end of cross compliance are being maintained through existing and ongoing domestic regulations that protect the environment, public, animal and plant health and animal welfare. These regulations cover most of the cross-compliance rules. Almost all of the rules that are not in underlying legislation have cover through existing and forthcoming guidance, regulation or incentives. We will seek to regulate to maintain hedgerow protections when parliamentary time allows.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Two shark species are relevant here. The UK agrees an annual Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for British fishing boats for Spurdog, having reopened the fishery in 2023 following ICES advice. In 2023, the UK and EU agreed a total TAC of 15,453 t, with a UK quota of 2,781 t in the North Sea TAC management area and 4,825 t in the Western TAC management area. For 2024, the UK and EU agreed a total TAC of 15,900 t, with a UK quota of 2,862 t in the North Sea TAC management area and 5,809 t in the Western TAC management area.</p><p> </p><p>The Total Allowable Catch level for Blue Shark is set by The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT), and that TAC is allocated as quotas to the parties. 2021 was the first year that the UK had access to a quota for this species, which we use exclusively for bycatch. The UK’s quota was 9 tonnes in 2021, 32 tonnes in 2022 and 2023, and is 25 tonnes for 2024.</p> more like this
